"After speaking to Walter Hines, who tells Palmer he can't force Leo to plead guilty, Palmer tells Vanessa he washes his hands of the whole matter. But what about Leo, Vanessa asks. Ask your other son to help, he replies, pointing to David and Erica who are just entering the Valley Inn dining room. After being filled in on the fact that Walter Hines has given up Leo's case, David agrees not only to get Leo a new lawyer, but promises not to rest until the real murderer is caught. Vanessa looks a little nervous as David and Erica go over to their own table. She goes to "powder her nose" and calls Donald Steele, telling him she has a major story for him. A short while later, Donald arrives with a camera crew and accuses Erica of Paolo's murder. David jumps up and grabs Donald and in all the confusion, Vanessa manages to slip a bunch of letters tied with a ribbon into Erica's purse. Derek is called in to break up the fight and once he arrives, Vanessa "accidentally" knocks Erica's purse over and the letters fall out. Donald "just happens" to pick them up and glance at them, announcing that they are "love letters" from Paolo to Erica.
